Staying unmarried isn't a guarantee that you wiill "never go through that." But, I understand your point. Just had to say it though. Happily married with a mortgage, 3 years (5 if you count the time we werent't marriied) 2 kids later and still very much in love. Feeling lucky every day because each day is a choiceand each day, we choose each other.

Agree and happily married for almost 20 years with a mortgage, although I agree with overpriced wedding comments
